At 9:10 a.m. the skipper of a Homer commercial fishing boat reported a crew member got caught in the anchor winch and he was unable to get the man out. The boat was about 1.5 miles offshore of Ninilchik. Ninilchik Emergency Services responded aboard a charter boat and found the crewman, a 55-year-old Frederic, Wisc., man had died of his injuries. The man’s body was taken to Ninilchik.
